Body

Happy Friday people. I'll explain why later but suffice it to say I've had MAJOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION ISSUES THIS WEEK. OMG. I literally spent the better part of the day on SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY AND some of WEDNESDAY dealing with backtracking to retrieve data etc. Will explain later.

Off to the gym. ;-) I'm crushing it y'all.

So thankful to Dr. Mike and Todd for creating a kick butt plan and for believing in me and pushing me. Cuz now it's not even a question. IT'S HAPPENING. In fact, FYI I've lost 2.6 pounds this week. BAM!

I promised on Instagram that I'd share this recipe I am addicted to- originally from Gina Allioti's DVD.

So easy. I make it almost every day for one meal.

Grab a bowl. Add 1/2 cup oats. Add a handful of shredded zucchini (big handful, I use food processor to shred a lot at a time and keep the rest in my fridge for the next day), add 4 egg whites, add 1 Tsp Baking Soda, Cinnamon and sweetener if you wish. Add 1 to 1.5 scoops protein powder, (I'm currently using GNC AMP 60 Vanilla). Mix up. Add to greased pan-- I adjusted baking time for my oven, I bake at 360 for 50 minutes. Originally called for 375 at 50-55 but mine was getting overdone.

One meal = one loaf.

OMG old favorite. It's back in my life. LOVE IT.

Now here's my vlog from earlier-- I will be back with you this weekend with updates now that I'm all up to date with WORKING COMPUTERS AND SUCH! OY

How has your week been??? Are you off to a kick butt start to 2013??? ;-))

OK so I was trying in this somewhat awkward selfie to point to the mantra on my cap. It says LOVE LIFE. 😆😆😆😆 And wow. . .now more than ever I do. 👌👌👌👌👌 I'm heading out for an hour long walk today , yes a walk, to get me back on track but easing into my workout since I still have some congestion in my chest. 😵😵😵😵 I thought that it would be a good post to share with you guys that this is an example of me BEFORE and AFTER in several areas. ➡➡➡➡➡ Me BEFORE would have jumped into my workouts 100% the second that I thought that I possibly could. And me BEFORE would have probably made myself more sick and set myself back 7 days. And then I would get more stressed out and feel more full of anxiety both about the workouts and missing work. 😈😈😈😈😈 Me NOW = sensible more calm and acting on experience, knowledge and WISDOM. 👏👏👏👏👏 Second point is that me before any time I was working out would be listening to a playlist of my favorite music. Me NOW is all about using this time to listen to the most amazing audio books 📖📖📖📖📖 or podcasts from all of these outstanding individuals that are teaching me how to improve upon myself personally professionally 💲💲💲💲financially physically ☝☝☝☝☝☝spiritually in every way possible. I heard a quote once that said, " a garden is never finished" and it's one of my favorite things ever to remind myself of. 💥💥💥💥 Because we should all focus on learning in every conceivable way every single day. Because learning and improving and growing never stops. CAN I GET AN AMEN? I am loving the fact that every day every week every month I am creating more before and afters for myself than I ever have in my entire life. Are you? #changeisthenewblack #FitFluential #betterthanmyyesterday #fitteaminspire #chicago

First day I feel BETTER enough to MOVE! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 oh, how I appreciate my good health. I am going to take it easy today and just break in my new @asics with a brisk walk maybe with some light running mixed in there but I still have a slight bit of chest congestion so I'm going to be wise and not set myself 2 steps back. It's always been my tenancy if I get sick to jump in 200% working out too fast and then I end up staying longer. So I am Not all about that. Nothing like hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 new kicks to add some sass to my step! What is your go-to brand of shoe for running? And if you just started running are you in need of guidance on your running shoes do you have any idea how to choose the right type of running shoe for yourself? #fitfluential #run #asics #client #ffcheckin #betterthanmyyesterday #fitteaminspire #chicago

Pretty much. Via @nicolelapin ⬅⬅⬅⬅ get her book BTW. Awesome.

What girl lost 5lbs ON VACATION even? That's right!! Not one cheat from my new insulin resistance diet approach and CLEARLY it is what my body needed. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 It's actually become easier each day, although being sick this week all I wanted was ice cream!! LOL. So for those of you following along I'm dealing with massive hormonal imbalance- including hypothyroid and insulin resistance- I have done so much reading an additional research on the topic of metabolic syndrome to learn what specifically in our diet and our lifestyle can make positive changes to reverse the situation. 👌👌👌👌👌And the changes that I have incorporated and applied are definitely working and not only am I starting to look better every day but I certainly feel better everyday. Tune in to my blog KellyOlexa.com for more details and upcoming events and books around these topics. 😊😊😊😊
